it's hard to govern. at one virtue of is you can divide into parts and provinces, and you really can have real experiments. try this over here, try that over there. that's a tremendous virtue. and i read in your book, well, you have the confusion tradition which has morality is what's important. and not necessarily the law. yes, but now with 1.3 billion people, of course morality is important. but how do you create a system that is moral? how do you people to feel that they can follow the rules of morality? perhaps when they were just a small number and everyone was closely knit in family, you can just rely on the family. but in today's world everywhere with television, and the computers and everybody working hard all the time, maybe you can't. so maybe you can get to the confucianism going to have to use the rule of law means. i don't know if it's possible. but any, all these things you can experiment. and that's really, that's such a plot. that's a plot. >> final question right here. >> [inaudible] >> w

from unwarranted government intrusion in our affairs absent probable cause which the government must set forth with specificity to a court in an application for a warrant. it is undisputed that absent exigent circumstances, consent or a warrant, the government may not intrude upon a person's home and search through his papers and personal effects. but we no longer keep our most sensitive information solely in the form of physical papers, physical documents and other tangible things. the explosion of data sharing and data storage has made our economy more responsive and more efficient, but it also creates the potential for government abuse. congress has a fundamental responsibility to protect the individual liberty of americans by ensuring that the constitution's core fourth amendment protections are not eroded by the operation of changed circumstances, by new techniques that are made possible, in some cases made necessary by new technology. but congress has failed to do this. some court rulings have likewise fallen short of protecting the full scope -- the full spirit of the fourth a

i used to be in government. that's small potatoes compared to being president but if i were in the state legislature to come up with a program we would still be driving on dirt roads in tennessee or if i came up with a way to pay teachers, we wouldn't be teaching them well so the president of the united states has to seize the moment and make a proposal about revenues, and he has to go across this country and say look i'm going to persuade you some very tough news. you are not coming to get your medicare bill paid if we do not -- your not going to like it and it's not possible, but i need to tell you what we are going to have to do, and if he wants to do that, we have all of us standing around saying mr. president, we are ready to work with you to solve the problem. so the president isn't the senator anymore, he is the president and it was worked to deal with tip o'neill and bill clinton on the welfare reform and president eisenhower and we have two words come presidential leadership on not just taxing rich peop

coburn: amendment 3371 is a good-government house cleaning for fema. fema determines disasters based on a declaration process that's based on a per capita income, or per capita damage indicator. it has not been revised to account for the effects of inflation. and because we've not revised it, the smaller states actually get more benefit from fema than the larger states. oklahoma has had 25 disaster declarations in the last six years, more than any other state. so what i'm actually proposing won't help my state. it will actually hurt my state. but it is improper for us to continue to use an outmoded number when in fact a small state has the same amount of damage as a large state but the per capita indicator would say it does not meet the requirement. so all i'm requesting is that fema over the next four years update this. it doesn't have any application until 2016. that it gives them time to update it. and that through good government, then we have a better reflection of when we declare a disaster and when we don't as far as the per capita income indica
